I don't know if they've chosen to ignore it as much as re-architect it. Remember that in 7.0, there are no more FB fields - they are Data Visualization fields. This is just me talking, but I'm looking for something to help us leverage those more by year end. I dunno what - a conversion utility would be nice.
So I think the energy is going to the new architecture rather than the old. Not saying it's right or wrong, just likely.

On top of that I was excited (for a very short time) to find out we would be able to produce a top 10 flashboard using the topgbnum parameter. Unfortunately it groups everything that is not top 10 and lumps them together in a bar called other. Where have you ever seen a top 10 chart that lists 11 items? I opened a ticket for this and was told it is "working as designed" . That really is nothing more then an excuse. Here is the definition in the Flashboard manual: topgbnum: The number of primary group-by values to be drawn on the flashboard and shown on the legend. Well if topgbnum is the number of group by values to be drawn on the flashboard then how come if I set topgbnum to 10 I get 11 values drawn on the flashboard? If that is as designed then the design is poor at best.

It has seemed this way since the moment I installed 6.3.0 and subsequent patches. It has gotten worse (not better) since applying Mid-Tier 7.0 Patch 1. Nothing but issues. They STILL haven't fixed the Modulo Operator issue. I can't believe that they released Mid-Tier 7.0.x with this GLARING KNOWN issue that was introduced in Mid-Tier 6.3 patch 17. Maybe the bug that they "fixed" in Patch 17 (SW00233593 Midtier loses precision during multiplication or division operation when both operands are integer), broke other calculations. They need to fix it or pull it and revert back to Mid-Tier 6.3 Patch 13. That patch represents the last time Flashboards kind of worked albeit with multiple workarounds. And the modulo operator rendered properly on the Mid-Tier in other workflow. Don't you think it weird that there have been at least 18 patches for 6.3 and not one of them specific to Flashboards? Although, tech support has provided a specific FB jar file to fix a history collection issue, there has been nothing generally available on the patch list. ...stepping down from my rant box... On the positive side, I am very happy that they are finally addressing at least the bug mentioned in the subject line.

I am constantly looking into Flash problems. This product needs a LOT of improvement. I feel like it is a beta and we are the testers. -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lucero, Michelle - IST contractor Sent: Monday, September 11, 2006 2:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Flashboard Bug SW00246348 (Range(double, double)) will be fixed in next 7.0 release Hi, Brian: Remember the issue we were dealing with a few months ago when displaying version 6.3 Flashboards on Mid-Tier 7.0. The error message we received in place of the Flashboard image was: "Range(double, double): require lower<=upper." As we both know there was a work-around we had to apply in the interim. I just received word from Remedy Tech support that this issue is suppose to be fixed in a future 7.0 release.
